What is a Graphic Novel? There are many definitions but this is the wikipedia one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_novel This is one case where wikipedia is a good source, because the meaning of the term is so fluid and the discussions on the subject are very interesting.

bookbrainz Appeal of graphic books in primary school 0 Dec 17 2011, 4:03 PM EST by bookbrainz

Not new information - but-
when I moved all the graphic books together and labelled them as such - there was a zooming and buzzing to that area - even more so than to the formerly busy area where sets of Beast Quest, Capt Underpants are shelved. I am now making an effort to find graphics for girls.
Do you find this valuable?
